General help

Francesco,

I can think of two alternatives.

1) You can do this in bulk using the User upload to assign a system role to many users at once, https://docs.moodle.org/310/en/Upload_users#Set_system_roles. but it is not automatic, real time, it is just an easy way of doing many users at one time. So, if you have them all in a list of spreadsheet, that is easy.

2) If you need a real time way to do it, there is no one plugin to do this, but you might be able to get real time assignments using two plugins:

Step 1) Assign a user to a Cohort based on a Profile field: https://moodle.org/plugins/local_profilecohort. This is a very good plugin, I have used it on many sites.

Step 2) Assign that Cohort to a System role: https://moodle.org/plugins/local_cohortrole I have never used this plugin, but it is up to date with Moodle 3.10. It looks easy to use.


So, in that case you go from Profile field value -> Cohort -> System role. I have never done this myself, but it certainly should work
